Wicked movie

I believe that this movie is based more on the book than the musical. I hope that folks will not be disappointed.

Everything I've read as well as the things people who have already seen the movie have said, it's based on the Broadway Musical.

It is based on the musical and pulls some extra scenes from the book to pad it out to a two-part movie. Wikipedia has a list if you are interested.

If it were based on the book, it would not be rated PG.

Yes, I read the book before seeing the musical. It is a lot darker than the musical.

Everything I have seen it is based on the musical.

Anyone see the interview with Maguire ~ author of Wicked ~ explain how he came up with the name Elphaba?

Saw it Monday. It was so good! Could have cut some parts out to make it shorter. Grande was the best part of the movie by far.

I had recorded the special "Defying Gravity, the curtain raises on Wicked" Tuesday night and watched it yesterday. It made me want to see it even more. I can't wait until tomorrow. The snowstorm is supposed to miss my area, and they better be right. I have my Wicked shirt and my nails are painted pink and green, lol.

My reels of late on Facebook have all been Wicked related. It's really making me want to go see it. I saw one last night with four different Broadway Glinda's taking turns singing Popular and it's all I can hear in my head!

I've seen a lot of good reviews while managing to avoid spoilers. Saturday or Sunday night I'll see it.

The soundtrack is on Spotify now. Listening already.
